What bus tour companies in LA can accommodate motorized wheelchairs? I contacted several because I want to take a city tour and they all don't have buses with lifts (Grayline Los Angeles, Amazing Adventures, etc.). How is this even legal given that the Unruh Act is even more demanding than the ADA and the ADA stipulates that access must be provided?
Good Italy bus tour companies? I am looking for good bus tour companies in Italy. Globus seems to be the big one. Are there any other companies that people have had a good experience with? Thanks!

I'm looking for a great bus tour company that goes to Florida/Canada/Virginia/ departing from NYC. Any ideas? I once took a vacation bus tour from NYC to Orlando about eight years ago. It lasted 7 days--2 traveling to Florida, 3 in FL, and 2 traveling back to NYC. We picked people up and dropped people off from New Jersey also. I'm looking for a dependable bus tour company that goes to places around the East Coast and Canada. I've heard too many horror stories about companies with bad business practices, and I would rather avoid a questionable bus tour company.

Any opinions on which company to go with? Also, how does it work? Do you get a day-pass or something?
Crossing Border in a Tour Bus? I'm just asking for a friend. She's going to be going on one of those tour bus vacations from Vancouver BC down to the States, and she was wondering what the experience is like (compared to driving for example). She hasn't been on a tour bus and crossed borders before so she was just wondering what it's like and the differences. She said she thought hearing somewhere that it's less of a hassle? Do border guards (both going into US, and re-entry back into Canada) do searches for tour bus (like in cars sometimes? She's not going on one of those chartered buses, but one of those tour company buses with like 5 day trips including hotel etc. along the west coast. Besides the usual ID for land travel (passports not needed yet, right?), is there anything else? Is it less of a hassle in comparison to going via car?

What percentage by weight of the Obama tour bus was made in USA? The Tennessee security company only installed the interior of the bus.

Did the Tennessee company install only made in USA components and subassemblies? Were only made in USA materials used throughout? How much of the materials and equipment installed in Tennessee was actually made outside the USA?
Does the government have a hold on bus companies? My friend used to work for the public transportation in his city. When he was laid off, he decided to buy a bus or two and start his own company. My father says that it's a good idea, but the government has a lock on bus companies, and won't let private companies transport people around (with the exception of tour buses). Is this true, or would he be able to do what he wants, and start his own transit in the urban area? Or what about this... He teams up with a neighboring county. There are alot of counties that have service into the the county with the big city. Maybe he could team up with some big town or city in that county and drive them to his city. That way, since no company is doing that, he wouldn't have any problems because he wouldn't be competeing with the government, since they don't already have routes.

Would a 2-week bus tour of Western Canada from Toronto be heaven or hell? My brother works in a tour company in BC and he is giving us discounts for a bus tour that goes from Toronto to Sudbury to Thunder Bay to Kenora to Winnipeg to Regina to Saskatoon to Edmonton to Calgary to Banff to Jasper to Okanogan Valley to Vancouver to Whistler to Victoria, then fly back to Toronto from Vancouver. Basically, it starts in the winter holidays, and I have 3 weeks off from college during the winter, so I was wondering whether 2 weeks on a bus tour driving across the country with a bunch other other tourists would be a good idea?

Looking for a "ski trip" (via bus, limo, whatever...) to Brian Head, Utah from Las Vegas.? I was wondering if anyone knows of a tour company, bus company, or someone who sells one-day ski trips to Brian Head, Utah from the Las Vegas area. I'll be in Vegas mid January and want to take one day to go to Brian Head skiing but I don't want to rent a car and drive myself there and have to worry about falling asleep at the wheel on the way "home" from a strenuous day of skiing. I'd rather leave the driving to someone else... (sounds like a Greyhound bus commercial, doesn't it.) Any info would be helpful.

Would the government stand in the way of a Private Transit Bus Company? My dad and I always are trying to figure out what to do with our futures, so we always discuss business ideas and products. I had an idea for a transit bus company, because the city we live in, Pittsburgh, has Port Authority, and they have been cutting back many routes and services, and I thought we could go to the areas that they cut back from to make the people's lives easier, and not have to worry about driving to work, but take a bus like they used to. My dad thinks that Port Authority of Allegheny County would prevent us from doing this, because they are practical run by the government. He says that they will prevent us from starting this because it will impact on their ridership, and since they are bankrupt right now, they wouldn't want to lose any revenue. Would they be able to do this? If we applied for a grant to research and start a company, would we get the grant, or would most of them say no because Allegheny County already has Port Authority? My dad also says that it won't make money, seeing as how Port Authority can't turn any profit. I say that we could make a profit, but we have to keep it privatized, and not make the same mistakes they did, like getting unions and stuff. Has any bus company, Transit, or Tour Bus company, ever turned a profit after all the expenses and taxes and insurances?
Any advice for a new school bus driver? i start training tommorow in vermont. Also once i get license what other typesof placescould i pick up shifts. Was thinking the county bus and tour companies
Bus or Car for day trip to Grand Canyon from Las Vegas? I can’t decide whether to visit the South Rim from Las Vegas for the day via a tour (bus) company or rental car. I’ve priced the bus trip at about $180 for two people. Car rental is about $30, excluding gas. My key criteria for selection is time at the Grand Canyon. I have no problem being picked up from my hotel at 8 a.m. and returning to it (in Las Vegas) at 9 p.m. But I’ve heard you can get to the South Rim faster via car, and spend more time there, as opposed to frequent stops by the bus. The only thing that concerns me about rental car is entrance into the Grand Canyon – I’m assuming it’s not expensive to get into the park. Any suggestions? Any route maps to the Grand Canyon via car.

Is there a bus company that goes from Sacramento to Las Vegas? NOT GREYHOUND? I have got to get to Las Vegas, my brother in law is sick, and I need to help my sister. I have taken Amtrak there, but on the way back it goes through Utah. I took Greyhound back, and it was a disaster! I hate to fly, and I don't want to have to take Greyhound again on the way back, any suggestions? Maybe a bus service company that does individual tours from Sacramento to Las Vegas, instead of just a charter bus service?
How big is the gas tank on a full size charter bus? I am doing a project for a class and I have to start my own company.

Is there another company that offers an affordable way to travel (maybe 2 or 3 countries) and is for a younger 20-something crowd?
Tour Guide Companies in NYC? I would like to find a tour company for my mom and I for one day of our trip this month to NYC, but we want to hire our own private guide with their own car from a reputable company.

Can anybody recommend a compelling Katrina tour of New Orleans? A few buddies and I are visiting New Orleans next month. We are all very interested in taking a compelling Katrina tour of New Orleans and are looking for suggestions of reliable and high recommended companies that can provide such a tour. We would prefer a private tour in a van as there are about 6-8 of us. However, if the tour is awesome, a bus is totally acceptable. I greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying such a firm.

Recommend any good tour company for Italy for a couple? I would like to take my husband to Italy for our 10th anniversary and would like to do it through a tour. The company I would like should be reputable, reliable, won't cramp 50 passengers in a bus for 50 (you know..no extra leg room!), will include all major sightseeing places instead of charging you extra for them, and also would give you tons of free time to explore on your own. Of course, hotels should be centrally located, without the need of being luxurious. I would like something economical, but not hostels. Any suggestions? forgot to add, next summer 2008 probably June.
Italy in December: is there anything I should worry about? I'm going to Italy in December with my Humanities class. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I'm SO glad I'm going on this trip. But a few weeks ago, I was talking to my Dad on the phone, and he said his friend went to Rome, and got pick-pocketed 3 times [the third time was obviously the success]. And they must have been good at what they do, because apparently he's not a small guy, and his wallet was in his FRONT pocket. That makes me sort of nervous. I've been to Europe only once, and that was to the UK with my Father to visit his girlfriend [now step-mum]. I felt safe because she lived there, and I could leave things in her car and what not. My school is going through EF Tours, which I'm assuming is a great international tour company, and there are private tour buses, but I won't be leaving my purse behind on the bus because I don't want it stolen. Is there anything else I should be worried about while on my trip besides pick-pocketers? PLEASE HELP!
I am looking for bus tours leaving from S.D.? I am retired and wish to find bus tours and prices.

Can someone connect me with a bus company that does this. Thanks!
Tour to India/Nepal? Good evening, I'd like to go to India and Nepal....don't want to be hearded around on a cattle-bus tour, but don't want to go alone. I've backpacked a lot by myself, but don't want to this time. I like tour companies like GAP and Geckos - you get to see a lot of sights, but don't have to plan your entire trip yourself. Also, as a woman, I don't feel comfortable going there alone. The only thing is none of the companies I'm aware of (like GAP, Geckos, Intrepid, etc.) have the exact trip I want. Anybody have an ideas? Any other tour companies you can think of? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
